Contrary to what a lot of people think, not all porn stars are in the profession due to lack of money or options. They might have started out acting in adult films due to a lack of money, but they stuck around because, as is evident, if you hit the big time, you can get paid big time. In fact, some of the richest adult actors in the world today don’t even make their money from smashing uglies, they make it from their own businesses and products, such as sex toys, books and other things they put their name on.
